buckman media reporter for tv howl and welcome to you, adam buckman. does america really need another comedian at 11:30? >> that remain fooz be seen. jimmy kimmel got millions of viewers and beat david letterman out on tuesday. are they interested in watching a late-night show and it turns out that they are interested in having a third choice with jimmy kimmel. >> right. obviously, more attention when you make your debut, gale shister. given leno and letterman have well-established franchises. how does kimmel distinguish himself? >> i think he distinguishes himself by lowering the median age of viewers at 11:35 p.m. right away. i think he attracts a much younger audience. >> lowering from 85 to something more reasonable? >> 85 to at least 83. but, also, if anything happens, i think he may hasten the retirement of letterman. i think that what may happen is if letterman continues to get beaten by kimmel and there's more erosion in his audience, it may end up pushing him off the air. >> interesting publicity build up here, first, let me play jay leno taki
